I notice you also have a Temp Medium board. Any chance you made the BoardIDs the same? Note that with Boards, medium = Medium, as all IDs are processed as though they have no capital letters. If you have one BoardID as Medium and the other medium, it won't see any difference.

Oh Eng,

I used a different name for the temp forum.

I set the temp forum up until I can figure whats up with the board in question.

i see that most of the BoardIDs start with lower case letter i.e: poetrymain, novice, repost. but the BoardID for Medium Poetry starts with capital case letter Medium

YaBB install help video1. what yabb forum are you running and the url2. describe in as much detail as you can what happens and also post screenshots if you can3. please be patient we live in different time zones and have other commitments but we will help youas bill and ted say (Be excellent to each other)

The Board Names don't have any effect. The program sorts all data based on the BoardID. What is the BoardID you are using for the old/temp Medium Poetry boards?

If the BoardID for one is Medium and the other is medium, you won't have normal access to one or the other, as they are seen as the same. The only way to fix this, IF it is the problem, is to create a new board (with a different ID) and move all the topics from the broken board over to it. Then delete the original (broken) board. You can give it the same Board Name, but the ID has to be unique.

The temp medium board I created after the error it has the name [ mediumtwo ]

the Medium board has the name [ Medium ]It does start with a capital letter. I have one other board with a capital letter the Haiku board and it is working.

It is not a conflict between the temp board causing the issue. Nevertheless, if I can not find a solution moving all the topics over to a new board might be what I have to do. Will be a chore tho with over 800 topics.

About a week ago my server had some serious issues and the server techs had to repair it ( they never told me exactly what happened). In the process my forum topics were all lost. I did a backup from a program on my server not the yabb backup. Basically, I backed up the entire forum to a previous date. This might be where something blew on there and it took me this long to see it.

ok if you can login from ftp and go into .../community/2.3.1/cgi-bin/yabb2/Boards/and download forum.master

as this may be corrupted $board{'Medium'} = qq~Medium Poetry||1~;and may be like $board{'medium'} = qq~Medium Poetry||1~;or $board{'iwuhajhkaj'} = qq~Medium Poetry||1~; or something to that effect

if it dont look like whats in the code box then this mite be the prob and prob hapend as in your quote

and if you are move the post over to a new board it mite be best if you put your forum into Maintenance Modeas this might cause more probes if you dont

hope this helps out
